  *                      outputStylesheet tag in a portlet       *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The outputStylesheet tag is designed to work with  the h:head
  tag but since the portlet facelet is a fragment and does not
  contain a head tag, the stylesheet is not applied on a
  portlet facelet at runtime .
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSF 2.0 Portlet Bridge was updated to  add the stylesheet
  specified in the portlet facelet using the outputStylesheet
  tag in the head section of  a portal page. Thus the stylesheet
  would be applied on a portlet facelet. You need to add the
  container runtime option in portlet.xml to render a stylesheet
  in a portlet facelet. That is:
  
  <container-runtime-option>
    <name>javax.portlet.renderHeaders</name>
    <value>true</value>
  </container-runtime-option>
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.5 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
